November is a top cultural pick: Día de Muertos, improving dry-season weather and major city atmosphere.

November is one of Mexico City’s best months and the strongest cultural choice. Día de Muertos gives the opening days huge meaning, the weather is moving back into dry-season comfort, and the city has a special atmosphere without the heat of April or the rain of summer.
